Think their goal records in this league say differently most importantly. But so does Kane’s willingness to work hard without the ball (which Mourinho lives), and the simple fact he’s England’s number 9 and starman (which Utd as a brand would love).

Like I say if there’s a straight up choice between the two Utd I reckon Utd would go for Kane every time.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.

I think we'll go out in the quarters, when we meet a strong side. We're decent but there's a few glaring weaknesses to exploit. The defence being the primary one. Tunisia barely tested it, and every time they did, they got some joy. McGuire-Stones-Walker will get rinsed by quality teams.

Are you purposely spelling his name wrong because you want Maguire to be Scottish?

I wouldn't be surprised to see us lose in the last 16 to Poland/Colombia if it panned out like that.

Which would be fine because the England setup needed to change and the atmosphere around the team did too. Southgate has gone a long way in doing that but there hasn't been enough time to change everything. 2020 and 2022 and more will be expected.

You never know in tournaments like this though. Most winners get a huge slice of luck at some stage and we might get some at just the right time.

I actually like him, but thought he was shite tonight for most of the game.

Great finish to the article - "The onus is now on broadcasters to look beyond the name and start expecting more from their stars. This is the biggest show on earth and being an ex-professional footballer does not automatically mean you are qualified or mean fans want to listen to you."

But I wonder what we would lose if we stop having ridiculous ex-footballers to laugh/shout at during these things. I love a bit of Kammy! Plus, call me sexist, but I wouldn't feel as comfortable hurling the same abuse I do at the likes of Dixon and Merson at a woman.
